Famous Experiment Dooms Alternative To Quantum Weirdness - Quanta Magazine

If those crazy kids kept you up last night, Natalie Wolchover needs to let you know those weren't kids. Science aficionados are celebrating the announcement of new evidence suggesting we live in a multiverse. The evidence all boils down to the tried-and-true the double-slit experiment, which is so easy you can try it at home! With that in your back pocket, Northrup-Grumman's Doug Bonderud shares some Travel Tips For An Alternate Universe. He goes beyond packing a suitcase full of reichmarks and advice to leave those Lincoln cents on Earth-Prime, but explaining the technical bits most science fiction and counterfactual authors tend to gloss over. Amidst his remarkably accessible technobabble, he does raise the specter of the simulation hypothesis while talking about inner universes. Greg Taylor deconstructs the origins of How Paranoid Delusions Colonized Popular Culture from three-letter agency mind control, Philip Kindred Dick, The Truman Show, and The Matrix. (CS)
